New Reveal : 2009 Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M

So Ferrari won the 16th Formula one constructors championship last week. Because of this "accomplishment", Ferrari released today the all-new Scuderia Spider 16M. Ofcourse, 16M refers to the F1 championship. However, what does Scuderia Sipder result? Well it results to the fastest accelerating convertible Ferrari in history. 0-60MPH in 3.7 seconds! And all they way to 196MPH. It does that by including all Scuderia coupe's goodies from carbon-fiber light-weight body, 6-speed F1 gearbox and the fantastic 4.3L V8 with 510hp. The new "Scudi" spider is 176 lbs lighter than a standard F430 spider, which now results at 2954 lbs. And what makes this more special, that you get a 16GB iPod Touch with your Scuderia. Ofcourse, it all comes at a dizzying price. The coupe is 277,000$, this spider will be around at 350,000$. If you have such money, you need to hurry. Ferrari will only make 499 units of the Scuderia spider. If you are a dreamer like me, you can look at the spec sheet and awesome pictures.
